Tinubu Directed Me To Give You Whatever You Ask Ask For – Wike Tells FCT Residents

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu has directed him to give residents of Abuja whatever they ask for.

FocalPoint reports that Wike made this known on Wednesday during the flag-off of the rehabilitation of the 10-kilometer Aguma Palace-Radio Nigeria-New Market Road in Gwagwalada Area Council.

Wike recalled that the stakeholders in the area council selected the road for rehabilitation during the interactive town hall between the FCT Administration and the FCT area councils.

The Minister noted that the era of abandoning projects is over, adding that the FCTA is committed to positively impacting the FCT area councils.

He said, “I told you that Mr. President has directed that we should give it to you whatever you ask. And today, by the special grace of God, one of the special requests you made is the reconstruction of this very important segment of the road.

“This is not the time when a contract is awarded and the contract is abandoned. This contract has been awarded. This contract has been flagged off today, and this contract will be commissioned next year.

“Let me reiterate that Mr. President did not appoint the Hon. Minister of State and my humble self to come here to preside over the selling of land. We are here to give you roads, we are here to give you water, and we are here to make you happy.

“This is what we talk about government, government for the people, the government of the people, and government by the people.”
